About Me

The Intersection of Engineering and Documentation

My journey began with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, which provided the technical foundation for how I approach complex systems. However, my curiosity has always been rooted in technology and a long-held passion for writing.

I began my career by nurturing this interest in diverse environments—initially blogging for a social media firm, then transitioning into educational content creation. From there, I expanded my scope to craft soft skills and employee onboarding modules, focusing on how people learn and process information.

Over 10 years ago, I "switched lanes" to Technical Writing. This role finally bridged the gap between my engineering background and my creative drive. For the past decade, I have remained in this field because it perfectly marries my deep interest in technology with my passion for clear, impactful writing.

Professional journey

Enterprise experience

My experience spans major global players in the technology and fintech sectors, where I have managed complex documentation suites:

  • Senior Technical Writer at NCR Atleos: Currently focusing on high-stakes documentation for enterprise-level hardware and software solutions.
  • Technical Writing at Lionbridge (for HPE): Managed specialized documentation projects, focusing on modularity and content reuse within complex technical domains.

Current focus: Docs-as-Code

While my foundation is built on structured authoring tools like DITA XML and MadCap Flare, I am currently expanding my expertise into Docs-as-Code methodologies.

What I bring to a team

  • Empathetic Collaboration: I pride myself on being a warm, approachable teammate who builds genuine rapport. I believe empathy is key to understanding user pain points and developer constraints alike.
  • Conflict Resolution: I prefer an open, communicative approach to teamwork. When disagreements arise, I advocate for "talking it out" to find a balanced solution that serves the project and the team dynamic.
  • Process Mindset: A focus on creating scalable, maintainable documentation systems rather than just one-off manuals.
  • Adaptability: A proven track record of mastering new tools—from early-day Android rooting and custom ROMs to DITA XML and my current transition into MkDocs and Git-based workflows.

Beyond documentation

When I am not structuring content or experimenting with static site generators, I am usually exploring other technical interests:

  • Technology & Gadgets: I have a long-standing interest in the Android ecosystem. In the early days of the platform, I was a frequent user of custom ROMs—rooting and modifying my devices to optimize performance and explore the limits of the OS. I also have a keen interest in the EV space (currently riding an Ather Rizta).
  • PC Hardware & Gaming: I am a PC enthusiast who prefers the precision of a keyboard and mouse over consoles. I take a hands-on approach to my setup, having personally sourced each component and assembled my current build by hand.
  • Travel: I enjoy the logistical challenge of planning complex travel itineraries, from domestic regions like Sikkim and Pondicherry to international destinations like the Maldives.
